Ski Sense

This project involved the design of a prototype of a device to collect biometric data from a skier. The data was used by a startup in order to improve their product, which provides real time feedback to a skier on their stance. I worked on everything from PCB development and analog circuit design to digital design and architecture. The prototype that my team developed had a module on each ski boot, and the two modules communicated wirelessly in a master-slave configuration. I performed the embedded software development for the whole project, and I gained experience with SPI and I2C communications, as well as analog to digital converters in an effort to gather the data from the various sensors and log it to a Micro SD card. I implemented the wireless communications between the two modules using Zigbee devices, and controlled everything with Arduino processors.
